Drop 2&3 Chords (min7b5)

Drop2&3 are simply a combination of Drop 2 and Drop 3 chords. They are a closed structure (1357) where the third note from the top, as well as the second note are both lowered an octave, resulting in 3517.

These chords can be played on strings 654x2x as well as strings x543x1. They are most commonly played with the root on the 6th string, so that’s how they are presented here.

The Chord Configuration

Note that this is the same configuration, no matter what string set is used and no matter what chord type (major7, minor7, dominant7, min7b5, dimished7...)
